New and Unique (Quest Reward) Items - Balanor - 12-18-2013
Hi everyone. So to give people something to discuss who are bored, at work, or otherwise not logged in to the server, I’d like to get your ideas for potential quest reward items, or even new items that could be found while adventuring.
These items do not have to be constrained to just the typical item properties in the toolset. For example, we have a quest reward item that gives immunity to knockdown for a certain amount of time. This was done by putting a simple ‘Cast Spell: Unique’ item property on the item, and then a special script was setup to run to provide that immunity whenever the item is used. So ideas that like, which are unique in some way, are those I would prefer over a suggestion of a 'Flaming Longsword +5'. Of course the flip side to this is that if the ideas are very complex they may not happen either. It's a fine line to walk.... ;)
I will not be saying which ideas or items make it into the game (you'll have to find that out on your own!), and even if they do I may end up modifying them in some way. But I bring up this topic to see if you, the members of the Thay community, can help provide some inspiration for items or trinkets or artifacts you think might be neat to have some day!

This longsword has an on-hit Cast Spell: Unique that transforms characters into penguins/cows/chickens/random other ineffective animal form if they fail the fortitude save.

Definitely complicated, but here goes:
ritual circle(furniture, or container):
On speaking to, or placing certain items or items and gold totaling a certain value in, offering your own blood(loss of exp), or possibly killing an npc standing inside the circle, summons and opens a conversation with a powerful tanar'ri. Depending on the outcome based on various skill checks, offerings of gold and items, and modifiers, it will either attack, leave, or offer the player a choice between:
unlock blackguard prestige class regardless of notoriety
call on them for help once(single use item which summons them as a summoned creature. Can't be sold, will disappear if it leaves the players inventory)
bestow gift(gives player a random named, non unique item from loot tables)
Using this item will shift the PC's alignment straight to evil, convert the item to a standard non-interactive summoning circle, and notify the DM team of its use, allowing for future IC consequences.

RE: New and Unique (Quest Reward) Items - Pluto - 12-19-2013
I'm kind of coming up short with item names and histories, but I do have some ideas. I really liked Bell's Gift, for the level that it's given and what it does it's a great boon for new characters since it gives them a short lived mind immunity against most of what they fight. So -along that vein- here are some other ideas:
An item that protects against disease/poison for a short term. I'm sure there's a spell that fits the bill and could be used 1/day for this purpose. At work right now, so can't look it up.
An item that protects against ability/level drain for a short term. Maybe negative energy protection 1/day?
An item that gives clarity 1/day.
All of these can be crafted at the forge, but so can Bell's Gift for that matter. Keeping it at a single use won't negate the need for potions either. How many times have you used a serum only to be diseased again in the next fight? It will help in having to buy so many though.
Just some ideas, let me think on it some more and I'll come up with some history and names for them.
